SB 40 and HB 274, legislation to raise the age in Missouri, is now filed! The Raise the Age Missouri coalition is grateful to Senator Wayne Wallingford and Representative Nick Schroer for leading the way towards a common-sense solution that will curb crime, save taxpayer dollars, and treat families fairly.

Raise the Age Missouri is a campaign to include 17-year-olds in the juvenile justice system – a common-sense reform that will curb crime, save taxpayer dollars, treat families fairly, and get better outcomes for vulnerable young people.
